Re: Leave Tom Alooooooooooone!
Because they actively repress and mistreat their own followers. Look at the link citing their other offenses. Oppression, forced abortions, unwilling imprisonment, negligent death (if not murder), extortion, black mail. And this is often to the people that would be involved with them even if the critics left them alone.
It needs to stop. |

Personally I have no use for them but I accept that there are people who freely join.

We didn't. And look what happened. |

| They don't only oppress their followers, they have a policy called "Fair Game" in which the "Religious Technology Center" (The head of the 'church') claims that any enemies of the church are "fair game, and they may be harassed, injured, badmouthed, attacked, or destroyed" without any reprisal from the church. The CoS claims that it is above the law.
Operation Snow White was the biggest infiltration of the US government in its history, and was Scientology placing bugs and moles in the IRS and other government headquarters to destroy evidence of wrongdoing by scientology and get dirt on critics of Scientology, among many WORSE things. The founder's wife, Mary Sue Hubbard was convicted and sent to prison, and L Ron Hubbard, the founder, went into hiding after stealing 200 million dollars from the church.
We are not attacking a religion. They may practice their religious ceremonies however they choose, and may believe whatever they choose. We are attacking a greedy and evil corporation that is using a religion as a defense from prosecution. |

Or those Commie spies during the Cold War. I think it would be more fair to say scientology was a very large infiltration, it's just so hard to know for sure which is biggest.
Also, they aren't using religion as an excuse from prosecution, they're using it as a tax dodge.
Also, I noticed ur name is anonymous, r u teh haxorz dat maeks them DoS? |

That doesn't mean you don't pursue their oppressors. Whether "good" or "bad", religion truly is the opiate of the people and it is going to cause us endless problems until the day that thinking people intervene.
